Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Job Overview

Virta Health is on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people.

Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Virta is rapidly growing and investing heavily in our GCP-based Kubernetes infrastructure. This role offers the opportunity to optimize our multi-cluster Kubernetes deployment, implement cutting-edge cloud infrastructure automation, and enhance security and performance. If you are passionate about cloud infrastructure, automation, and platform engineering, join us to help scale our business and ensure continuous access to our life-changing treatment.
